iDisk – Securely Share Large Files
Apple’s iDisk makes securely sending large files easy as email.
Included with the MobileMe service, iDisk is an Apple hosted storage service that allows you to backup, sync and share files using 20GBs of online space.
Here’s how it works:
1. Upload your file (any size up to your storage limit) to iDisk.
2. Log into MobileMe from any computer’s web browser.
3. Select the file and click the “share button.”
4. The pictured drop down will allow you to send a link to the file via email. You can password protect the file and have the link expire after a set number of days.
While there are other online services like GigaSize to transfer large files, the iDisk interface is fast and easy for the recipient to access. If you have MobileMe, this is a great way to securely share files.
